To enable the Department of Labor to promote the necessity of artificial intelligence to safeguard the welfare and job security of apprentices.
Key claim: HR9907 would direct the Department of Labor to promote artificial intelligence as a means to protect apprentices’ welfare and job security.
Abstract
(HR9907 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-23): Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
Why this matters
The bill continues a pattern of Congress attaching AI-promotion mandates to specific workforce constituencies (apprentices, small businesses, federal workers) rather than passing horizontal AI labor regulation. It frames AI as protective of worker welfare — the opposite framing from bills like the No Robot Bosses Act or the AI Whistleblower Protection Act — signaling contested narratives about AI’s role in the labor market within the same Congress.
